36.2 John Leslie
John Leslie, who directs for his own production company (under the
E/Angel umbrella) has made a good deal of movies aimed at the
discerning porn consumer. He started directing at VCA where he
made such films as "Curse of the Catwoman", "The Chameleon" and
"Chameleons: Not the Sequel". Most of these VCA-era films carry a
strong a plot, professional production and mucho sexual heat. They
were mostly shot by Jack Remy, one of the best cinematographers in
the business. Of his latter films, it could be said that they are
a little too dark and brooding for some taste, but to each his (or
her) own. Leslie, also to his credit, has perhaps the best
soundtracks in the history of porn -- jazzy saxophone tunes and
funk blues numbers that put Kenny G to shame ;-)
His more recent films can be moved into two categories: those he
does for money and those he does for "art." Happily, neither
category is each other's lesser. In the former category are John's
"Buttman" ripoffs called "The Voyeur." Here, John runs around
"spying" on newcomers to the business. It is a good series as
these things go, but not as satisfying as his "art" films. "Dog
Walker" is one of his projects where a dark mood pervades everyone
and everything. Filmed with a lot of smoke and haze, Dog Walker is
much more than your average fuck-a-thon. Reviews are available at
